Preparation in advance:
Knead flour, butter and sugar to a dough.
Place 30 minutes in the fridge to firm.
How to prepare:
Divide the dough in 3 equal pieces.
Mix the sugar and cocoa into 1/3 part.
Roll the brown dough and 1/2 of the white dough, on a flour dusted working surface,
to 2 rectangles of 1 cm thick and 10 cm wide.
Cut 10 strips of 1 cm wide lenghtwise of the white and brown dough.
Pile the 20 strips alternately beside and up to each other.
The pile must be 5 strips wide and 4 strips high.
Roll the last 1/3 part white dough to a very thin rectangle as long as the strips.
Roll the piled up strips firm in the last dough slice (it must remain a square)
and place the roll 60 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/395°F (fan oven 180°C/360°F).
Cut slices of 3/4 cm thick of the roll (it must resemble a chess-board)
and place the cookies on a greased baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes and let cool on a wire rack.
